Description

本发明涉及一种有色隐形眼镜,特别是具有不透明的着色部分以改变佩戴者虹膜颜色并使之具有自然外观的隐形眼镜。The present invention relates to a colored contact lens, particularly a contact lens having an opaque colored portion to change the color of the wearer's iris and give it a natural appearance.

人们很早就认识到了带有不透明颜色的隐形眼镜不应具有简单生硬着色的虹膜。这种隐形眼镜显示非常不自然的外观。Wichterle在美国专利US3679504中公开了一种具有多于一种颜色的虹膜的不透明隐形眼镜,它是绘画出的或用照相法制出的。这种眼镜没有获得商业成功。其它制造具有自然外观的不透明镜片的方法公开在美国专利US3536386(Spivak)、US3712718(LeGrand)、US4460523(Neefe)、US4719657(Bawa)、US4744647(Meshel)等、US4634449(Jenkins)、欧洲专利EP0309154(Allergan)和英国专利UK2202540A(IGEL)。It has long been recognized that contact lenses with opaque tints should not have simply hard colored irises. Such contact lenses display a very unnatural appearance. Wichterle in US Pat. No. 3,679,504 discloses an opaque contact lens having an iris of more than one color, either painted or photographed. The glasses were not commercially successful. Other methods of making opaque lenses with a natural appearance are disclosed in US Pat. ) and UK Patent UK2202540A (IGEL).

Knapp在美国专利US4582402的实施例中公开了一种具有不透明着色点的隐形眼镜。Knapp的镜片获得了极大的商业成功。采用简单的单色点的图案,镜片获得了自然的外观,且制造简单和价廉。在上述专利第三栏第23~29行中,Knapp指出:“由于最近的研究显示许多人的虹膜包括一种以上的颜色,因此为了获得更自然的效果,应采用不同颜色的不同图案重复印刷步骤一次以上。所印制的图案不需绝对均匀,以突出虹膜的精细结构”。获得商业成功的单色Knapp镜片的色点分布呈不规则图案,以突出虹膜的结构。然而,无论市售的Knapp镜片还是Knapp的专利都没有公开或指示出如何安排一种以上颜色的色点图案,以获得更自然的外观。Knapp discloses a contact lens with an opaque tinted point in an example of US Pat. No. 4,582,402. Knapp's lenses were a great commercial success. With a simple pattern of monochromatic dots, the lens achieves a natural appearance and is simple and inexpensive to manufacture. In column 3, lines 23-29 of the above-mentioned patent, Knapp states: "Since recent studies have shown that many people's irises include more than one color, for a more natural effect, different patterns of different colors should be used for repeated printing. more than one step. The printed pattern does not need to be absolutely uniform in order to highlight the fine structure of the iris". Commercially successful monochromatic Knapp lenses have an irregular pattern of color points distributed to accentuate the structure of the iris. However, neither the commercially available Knapp lenses nor the Knapp patent disclose or indicate how to arrange the color point pattern of more than one color to achieve a more natural appearance.

本发明是基于一个意外发现,即很简单的多色不透明图案(其中一些根据Knapp公开的内容)可获得具有极自然外观的虹膜。在单色的Knapp镜片基础上,对外观的改进是惊人的,它获得了极大的商业成功,同单色镜片一样,本发明的镜片可使佩戴者虹膜的外观颜色产生根本变化,例如从深棕色变为浅蓝色或绿色。尽管本发明的最佳实施例是双色镜片,但采用两种以上的颜色是可预料的。The present invention is based on the unexpected discovery that very simple polychromatic opaque patterns, some of which are according to the Knapp disclosure, yield irises with a very natural appearance. On the basis of the monochromatic Knapp lens, the improvement to the appearance is amazing, and it has obtained great commercial success. Like the monochromatic lens, the lens of the present invention can produce a radical change in the appearance color of the wearer's iris, for example from Dark brown to light blue or green. Although the preferred embodiment of the invention is a dichroic lens, the use of more than two colors is contemplated.

根据本发明最佳实施例的隐形眼镜也与Knapp的美国专利US4582402有关。在图1中示出该已有技术的镜片。在其镜片中心有一个透明的瞳孔区20,环绕该瞳孔区有一个环状虹膜区21。对于亲水性镜片有一个边缘区22环绕虹膜区21。如图1所示,一个着色的不透明间断图案位于整个虹膜区21。该图案使得在图案间隔之间的虹膜区留有相当一部分保持透明。在图1中虹膜区21的透明区域用白色表示。Contact lenses according to preferred embodiments of the present invention are also related to Knapp US Patent No. 4,582,402. This prior art lens is shown in FIG. 1 . In the center of the lens there is a transparent pupil area 20 surrounded by an annular iris area 21 . For hydrophilic lenses there is an edge zone 22 surrounding the iris zone 21 . As shown in FIG. 1, a colored opaque discontinuous pattern is located throughout the iris region 21. As shown in FIG. The pattern leaves a substantial portion of the iris area between pattern intervals transparent. The transparent areas of the iris area 21 are shown in white in FIG. 1 .

图案的元素最好为点,特别是部分重合的点,如图1所示。虹膜区21的某些部分比其它部分较稀地覆盖以色点。较稀覆盖的部分近似构成径向条纹。这种构造突出了镜片佩戴者虹膜的结构。The elements of the pattern are preferably points, especially partially overlapping points, as shown in Figure 1. Some parts of the iris area 21 are covered with color dots more sparsely than other parts. The less densely covered parts approximately constitute radial stripes. This configuration accentuates the structure of the lens wearer's iris.

当然,不透明图案可由任何形状的点构成,规则的或不规则的,例如圆的、方的、六角形的和长条形的等等。进一步,图案的元素可为点以外的其它形状,只要该元素是一般人察觉不出的,至少覆盖虹膜的25%左右、且在图案间隔之间的虹膜区留有相当一部分是透明的即可。Of course, the opaque pattern can be formed by dots of any shape, regular or irregular, such as round, square, hexagonal and strip-shaped, etc. Furthermore, the elements of the pattern can be other shapes than dots, as long as the element is imperceptible to ordinary people, covers at least about 25% of the iris, and a considerable part of the iris area between the pattern intervals is transparent.

至此,上述描述覆盖了Knapp的发明专利US4582402,而相应的镜片从1986年11月以来已经出售。市售的单色镜片具有同图1几乎完全一样的图案,只是市售的镜片具有较小的瞳孔区,而在瞳孔区20周缘增加两行色点以得到一个较宽的虹膜区。也就是说,在市售的镜片中实际存在两行增加的色点没有画在图1中。So far, the above description covers Knapp's invention patent US4582402, and the corresponding lenses have been sold since November 1986. Commercially available monochromatic lenses have almost exactly the same pattern as Fig. 1, but commercially available lenses have a smaller pupil area, and two rows of color points are added to obtain a wider iris area at the pupil area 20 periphery. That is, there are actually two rows of increased color points in commercially available lenses that are not drawn in Figure 1.

本发明的改进是很简单的多色图案,它可极大地改善佩戴者虹膜的自然外观,甚至超过了获得很大商业成功的单色镜片。为制作本发明的双色图案,图案的元素(最好为点)分为两部分。第一部分元素具有第一色调,并且一般位于虹膜区外围,即处于或接近于环形虹膜区外部边缘。一种优选的第一外部图案示于图3。第二部分元素具有与第一色调不同的第二色调,一般位于虹膜区的内部,即位于或接近于环状虹膜区的内部边缘,并被第一外部所环绕。一种优选的第二内部图案于图2。The improvement of the present invention is a very simple polychromatic pattern which greatly improves the natural appearance of the wearer's iris, even over monochromatic lenses which have enjoyed great commercial success. To make the two-color pattern of the present invention, the elements of the pattern (preferably dots) are divided into two parts. The first portion of elements has a first hue and is generally located on the periphery of the iris area, ie at or close to the outer edge of the annular iris area. A preferred first external pattern is shown in FIG. 3 . The second portion of elements has a second color tone different from the first color tone, and is generally located inside the iris area, ie at or near the inner edge of the annular iris area, and is surrounded by the first outer portion. A preferred second internal pattern is shown in FIG. 2 .

一个锯齿状边界分开图案元素的内部和外部。该边界不需很精确。一些第一色调的色点可混入第二色调的色点中,只要存在一个锯齿状边界或边界区域,穿过它可产生色调的明显变化即可。如将图2和3的图案合并成一个双色镜片,图2图案的锯齿状外边缘将与图3图案的锯齿状内边缘合并以形成一个在两个具有不同色调的部分之间的锯齿状边界。A jagged border separates the inside and outside of pattern elements. This boundary need not be very precise. Some of the color points of the first shade may mix into the color points of the second shade as long as there is a jagged border or border area across which a noticeable change in hue is produced. If the patterns of Figures 2 and 3 are combined into a dichroic lens, the jagged outer edge of the Figure 2 pattern will merge with the jagged inner edge of the Figure 3 pattern to form a jagged border between the two parts with different shades .

虹膜区不透明部分的制作最好是采用作为参考文献的美国专利US4582402(Knapp)中公开的印刷工艺在镜片上印刷两次而成。很简单,一个带有所需凹状图案的平板或铅板被涂以具有所需色调的墨水。多余的墨水用带有刮浆刀的平板刮其表面而去除,使凹陷处填满墨水。一个硅橡胶墨辊压在板上以从凹陷处汲取墨水,然后再压在镜片表面上以将图案转印到镜片上。印出的图案再经固化以使其不能从镜片上除掉。当然,镜片的前表面和背面均可印刷,但是,最好印在前表面。The opaque portion of the iris area is preferably produced by printing twice on the lens using the printing process disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,582,402 (Knapp), incorporated by reference. Quite simply, a flat or lead plate with the desired concave pattern is painted with ink of the desired shade. Excess ink is removed by scraping the surface with a flat plate with a squeegee, so that the depressions are filled with ink. A silicone rubber ink roller is pressed against the plate to pick up the ink from the depressions, and then pressed against the surface of the lens to transfer the pattern onto the lens. The printed pattern is then cured so that it cannot be removed from the lens. Of course, both the front and back surfaces of the lens can be printed, however, it is preferred to print on the front surface.

适合用于本发明的镜片和墨水是已知的,并被公开在作为参考文献的美国专利US4668240(Loshack′s)中。很简单,一个由带有-COOH、-OH或-NH2基团的聚合物构成的镜片上印有包含带有相同官能团的粘合聚合物、不透明着色物质以及一种二异氰酸酯化合物的墨水。首先制备粘合聚合物的液溶和溶剂,再将该溶液与含有着色物质的浆糊混合以制成墨水。在Loshack的专利中公开的合适的聚合物溶液具有25000CPS的粘滞度。而现在最好用具有40000CPS粘滞度的粘合聚合物溶液来形成用于本发明镜片的墨水。不透明的墨水被印在并固化在镜片表面。Lenses and inks suitable for use in the present invention are known and disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,668,240 (Loshack's), incorporated by reference. Quite simply, a lens made of a polymer with -COOH, -OH or -NH2 groups is printed with an ink comprising a binding polymer with the same functional groups, an opaque coloring substance, and a diisocyanate compound. A solution and a solvent of the binding polymer are first prepared, and the solution is mixed with a paste containing a coloring substance to make an ink. A suitable polymer solution disclosed in the Loshack patent has a viscosity of 25000 CPS. However, it is now preferred to use a binding polymer solution having a viscosity of 40,000 CPS to form the inks for the lenses of the present invention. Opaque ink is printed and cured on the surface of the lens.

当然,也可用其它方式来形成镜片的不透明着色元素。例如,湿润的亲水性镜片上虹膜区的选定部分可由其一种物质的溶液,如氯化钡溶液浸透。再将该镜片浸入第二种物质的溶液,如硫酸中,以产生一种不透明的,不溶于水的第一种物质的沉淀物,例如硫酸钡。于是不透明沉淀物在镜片上以预定图案形成在虹膜区。随后整个虹膜区或至少其不透明图案按照本发明用两种颜色的透明染料着色,这样产生了具有本发明的不透明着色图案的镜片。如果整个虹膜区用透明染料着色,则在图案之间的间隔将被着以透明颜色,但仍为透明的,相应于本发明的第一种和第二种方案。镜片的瞳孔区也可以被透明染料着色,因为当镜片靠在佩戴者眼球上的深色瞳孔上时,这种染料是看不出来的。其它的使之不透明的方法包括采用激光(US  4744647)和精细研磨颗粒(US4460523)。Of course, other means can also be used to form the opaque tinting elements of the lens. For example, a selected portion of the iris area on a wetted hydrophilic lens can be saturated with a solution of one of its substances, such as a barium chloride solution. The lens is then dipped into a solution of a second substance, such as sulfuric acid, to produce an opaque, water-insoluble precipitate of the first substance, such as barium sulfate. An opaque deposit then forms on the lens in the iris area in a predetermined pattern. The entire iris area, or at least its opaque pattern, is then colored according to the invention with two colors of transparent dyes, thus producing a lens with the opaque tinted pattern of the invention. If the entire iris area is colored with a transparent dye, the spaces between the patterns will be colored with a transparent color, but still transparent, corresponding to the first and second solutions of the present invention. The pupil area of the lens can also be tinted with a clear dye because the dye is not visible when the lens is placed against the dark pupil on the wearer's eyeball. Other methods of making it opaque include the use of lasers (US 4744647) and fine abrasive particles (US4460523).

下列例子给出最佳实施例,但是一般来说,精确的不透明图案和获得不透明及着色的方法对实现本发明并非至关重要。The following examples give preferred embodiments, but in general, the precise pattern of opacity and method of obtaining opacity and coloration is not critical to the practice of the invention.

在下述例子中,所有尺寸是对不含水的亲水性镜片而言。浸水后,镜片扩展为其不含水尺寸的1.3倍。这样,在浸水后,所有尺寸约为下述数值的1.3倍。但是,计算出的锯齿状边界在虹膜区外缘的距离占虹膜区径向宽度的百分比将不随浸水而发生改变。In the following examples, all dimensions are for hydrophilic lenses without water. After immersion in water, the lens expands to 1.3 times its size without water. Thus, after immersion in water, all dimensions are approximately 1.3 times the values described below. However, the calculated distance of the jagged border from the outer edge of the iris zone as a percentage of the radial width of the iris zone will not change with immersion.

虽然本发明选用的镜片浸水后扩展1.3倍,但本领域的技术人员会认识到也可采用浸水后具有不同扩展量的不同镜片。Although the lens used in the present invention expands by 1.3 times after immersion in water, those skilled in the art will recognize that different lenses with different expansions after immersion in water can also be used.

实施例1Example 1

一种如US4668240所示的由羟乙基甲基丙烯酸酯、乙氧基乙基甲基丙烯酸酯和甲基丙烯酸制成的亲水性镜片在其前凸表面被涂上具有第一色调的墨水,墨水含有颜料,由相同于制作镜片的单体制成的粘合聚合物、1,6-亚己基二异氰酸酯及溶剂。印出的图象如图1所示。具有环状结构的图案几乎覆盖整个虹膜区,其外径R1为5.2毫米,内径R2为2.2毫米。在墨水固化后,采用如图2所示的具有不同于图1图案色调的图案叠印在第一个图案上。在进行第二次印刷时,最好是两个图案的中心23重合。但是,没必要转动排列图1和图2的图案。就是说,在图1图案印上镜片以后,镜片或者用来印刷图2图案的墨辊绕镜片中心23的转动是无关紧要的。无论是否转动都能制出完美的镜片。A hydrophilic lens made of hydroxyethyl methacrylate, ethoxyethyl methacrylate and methacrylic acid as shown in US4668240 is coated with an ink having a first shade on its front convex surface , the ink contains pigments, a binding polymer made from the same monomers used to make lenses, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, and solvents. The printed image is shown in Figure 1. The pattern with a ring-like structure covers almost the entire iris area with an outer diameter R1 of 5.2 mm and an inner diameter R2 of 2.2 mm. After the ink has cured, the first pattern is overprinted with a pattern as shown in FIG. 2 having a color tone different from that of the pattern in FIG. 1 . When printing for the second time, it is preferable that the centers 23 of the two patterns coincide. However, it is not necessary to rotate the arrangement of the patterns of Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 . That is, after the pattern of Fig. 1 is printed on the lens, the rotation of the lens or the ink roller used to print the pattern of Fig. 2 about the center 23 of the lens is irrelevant. Produces perfect lenses with or without rotation.

图2的镜片图案内径R3为2毫米,其变化的外径在24处的最大值约为4.5毫米,在25处的最小值约为2.7毫米。外径的变化产生图2图案的锯齿状外边缘。应注意由于图1图案半径R1为5.2毫米,则外围的图案向内延伸到虹膜区的距离约为5.2-4.5即0.7毫米(最小)至5.2-2.7即2.5毫米(最大)The inner diameter R 3 of the lens pattern in FIG. 2 is 2 millimeters, and the outer diameter of the variation has a maximum value of about 4.5 millimeters at 24 and a minimum value of about 2.7 millimeters at 25 . The variation in outer diameter produces the jagged outer edge of the Figure 2 pattern. It should be noted that since the radius R1 of the pattern in Figure 1 is 5.2 mm, the distance from the peripheral pattern extending inward to the iris area is about 5.2-4.5 or 0.7 mm (minimum) to 5.2-2.7 or 2.5 mm (maximum)

虹膜区的径向宽度为外径R1减去内径R3,即5.2毫米-2毫米=3.2毫米。这样,可以看出锯齿状边界在虹膜区外缘的距离最小为虹膜区径向宽度的0.7/3.2即20%左右,最大为虹膜区径向宽度的2.5/3.2即80%左右。一般来说,锯齿状边界在虹膜区外缘的最小距离应为虹膜区径向宽度的5%~45%(最好为10%~30%),而锯齿状边界在虹膜区外缘的最大距离应为虹膜区径向宽度的45%~95%(最好为60%~80%)。这样,外围的图案构成整个虹膜区的相当大的部分,而不是象美国专利US4719657(Bawa)中的7栏第56行至第8栏第34行所公开的在边缘的一个薄圆圈。按本例制成的镜片将具有叠印图2图案的图1图案,且具有仅由图1的第一色调元素构成的外部以及主要由图2的第二色调元素构成的内部,但在图2图案的间隙显示某些图1的色调。The radial width of the iris area is the outer radius R 1 minus the inner radius R 3 , that is, 5.2mm−2mm=3.2mm. In this way, it can be seen that the distance between the jagged border and the outer edge of the iris area is at least 0.7/3.2 or about 20% of the radial width of the iris area, and the maximum is about 2.5/3.2 or about 80% of the radial width of the iris area. Generally speaking, the minimum distance of the jagged border at the outer edge of the iris area should be 5% to 45% (preferably 10% to 30%) of the radial width of the iris area, and the maximum distance of the jagged border at the outer edge of the iris area The distance should be 45% to 95% (preferably 60% to 80%) of the radial width of the iris area. Thus, the peripheral pattern constitutes a substantial portion of the overall iris area, rather than a thin circle at the edge as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,719,657 (Bawa) at column 7, line 56 to column 8, line 34. A lens made according to this example would have the pattern of Figure 1 superimposed on the pattern of Figure 2, with an exterior consisting only of the first hue elements of Figure 1 and an interior consisting primarily of the second hue elements of Figure 2, but with The gaps in the pattern show some of the tones of Figure 1.

实例4Example 4

采用图7的图案按照本发明的第二方案制备镜片。在图7中,不透明虹膜区26具有透明的元素27(其中仅标出几个)。图7的透明元素近似为径向的长条区域和点。不透明区域具有由锯齿状边界28分开的第一色调的第一区域和与第一色调不同的第二色调的第二内区域。Lenses were prepared according to the second aspect of the invention using the pattern of FIG. 7 . In Fig. 7, the opaque iris area 26 has transparent elements 27 (only a few of which are marked). The transparent elements in FIG. 7 are approximated as radial strip regions and dots. The opaque region has a first region of a first shade separated by a jagged border 28 and a second inner region of a second shade different from the first shade.

实例5Example 5

The iris area of the lens is opaque. The outer zone 29 has a first color tone and the inner zone 30 has a second color tone. A jagged border 31 separates regions 29 and 30 .

尽管还没有实际制出实例4和5的镜片,但它们肯定会获得比单色的相同镜片更自然的外观。同时按这两个实施例制备镜片比Wichterle在US  3679504中所公开的用照相或绘画来制作自然的虹膜更为简单和经济。Although the lenses of Examples 4 and 5 have not been actually made, they certainly achieve a more natural appearance than the same lenses in monochrome. Prepare eyeglasses by these two embodiments simultaneously than Wichterle disclosed in US 3679504 to make natural iris simpler and more economical with photography or painting.

图9表示按本发明的第四种方案制成的镜片,其中佩戴者相当大部分的虹膜的自然色彩是可见的。图9的镜片包括一个透明的瞳孔区40和一个由第一外部区域41及第二内部区域42构成的虹膜区。虹膜区41和42由锯齿状边界43分开,该边界在虹膜区外缘44具有如前所述占虹膜区径向宽度相同百分比的最小距离和最大距离。区域41和42之一为透明的,而另一区域具有不透明色彩。例如,内部区域42可具有不透明颜色,而外部区域为透明的,或者相反。如果透明部分未着色,或透明部分着以透明颜色,而佩戴者具有足够深色的虹膜以从透明颜色中显示出来,则佩戴者虹膜的相当大部分的自然色彩是可见的。对亲水性镜片,一个透明的外部区域45环绕着虹膜区。不透明颜色最好是一般人察觉不出的元素组成的图案,但也可以采用连续的不透明颜料着色或结合透明元素的连续着色。Figure 9 shows a lens made according to a fourth aspect of the invention in which a substantial portion of the natural color of the iris of the wearer is visible. The lens of FIG. 9 includes a transparent pupil zone 40 and an iris zone formed by a first outer zone 41 and a second inner zone 42 . Iris regions 41 and 42 are separated by a jagged border 43 having a minimum and a maximum distance at the outer edge 44 of the iris region of the same percentage of the radial width of the iris region as previously described. One of the areas 41 and 42 is transparent, while the other area has an opaque color. For example, the inner region 42 may have an opaque color while the outer region is transparent, or vice versa. If the clear portion is untinted, or the clear portion is tinted with a clear color, and the wearer has an iris dark enough to show through the clear color, a substantial portion of the natural color of the wearer's iris is visible. For hydrophilic lenses, a transparent outer region 45 surrounds the iris region. Opaque colors are preferably patterns of elements imperceptible to the human eye, but continuous opaque pigment coloring or continuous coloring combined with transparent elements may also be used.

图10表示按照本发明第五种方案制成的镜片。同图9的镜片一样,该镜片也使佩戴者虹膜的大部分自然色彩是可见的。图10的镜片包括一个瞳孔区50和一个虹膜区,虹膜区由一个环绕第二中间区域52的第一外部区域51和一个被中间区域52所环绕的第三内部区域53构成。外部区域51和中间区域52由第一锯齿状边界54分开。中间区域52和内部区域53由第二锯齿状边界55分开。对亲水性镜片,一个透明的外部区域56环绕该虹膜区。在本实施例中,采用三种不同的着色方案。Figure 10 shows a lens made according to the fifth embodiment of the invention. Like the lens of Fig. 9, this lens also allows most of the natural color of the wearer's iris to be seen. The lens of FIG. 10 includes a pupil zone 50 and an iris zone consisting of a first outer zone 51 surrounding a second intermediate zone 52 and a third inner zone 53 surrounded by the intermediate zone 52 . The outer region 51 and the middle region 52 are separated by a first indented border 54 . The intermediate region 52 and the inner region 53 are separated by a second indented border 55 . For hydrophilic lenses, a transparent outer region 56 surrounds the iris region. In this example, three different coloring schemes are employed.

A.内部区域53和外部区域51具有不透明颜色,而中间部分52为透明的;A. The inner region 53 and the outer region 51 have an opaque color, while the middle portion 52 is transparent;

B.中间区域52具有不透明颜色,而内部区域53和外部区域51为透明的;B. The middle region 52 has an opaque color, while the inner region 53 and outer region 51 are transparent;

C.三个区域51、52和53均具有不透明颜色,而中间区域52具有与外部区域51和内部区域53不同的色调。C. The three regions 51 , 52 and 53 are all of an opaque color, while the middle region 52 has a different hue than the outer region 51 and the inner region 53 .

不透明颜色最好为一般人觉察不出的元素构成的图案,当然也可以采用其它类型的不透明着色。The opaque color is preferably a pattern of elements that are invisible to the average person, although other types of opaque coloring are also possible.

当图9和图10所示的具有透明区域的镜片使佩戴者自然虹膜的颜色可见时,同样着色的镜片可使不同的佩戴者显示不同的外观,产生非常愉快和变幻的彩色效果。While lenses with clear areas as shown in Figures 9 and 10 make visible the color of the wearer's natural iris, similarly tinted lenses can show different appearances to different wearers, producing very pleasant and changing color effects.

上述实例和附图是为了解释而非限定本发明,本发明由权利要求限定。根据本发明而由实例和附图作出的一些变化也是可能的。例如,色彩和图案的方案也可以改变。镜片的前表面和背面之一或者两面都可被印刷。不透明材料可以在镜片表面也可以在镜片之中,或者既在表面也在其中。进一步,供具有浅色虹膜的佩戴者使用的镜片,其不透明颜色可略为透明。The above examples and drawings are for the purpose of explaining rather than limiting the invention, which is defined by the claims. Some variations from the examples and figures are also possible according to the invention. For example, color and pattern schemes may also be varied. Either or both the front and back surfaces of the lens may be printed. The opaque material can be on the surface of the lens, in the lens, or both. Further, lenses for wearers with light colored irises may be slightly transparent in their opaque color.
